Peak Galleria

Je n’avais pas checker avant mais la Garden terrasse dans cette galerie vaut le coup de faire un petit crochet.
Superbe vue. Et l intention politique n est pas mal.

This place is a must go for everyone at least once travelers and locals alike. The view at night from the top of the peaks is just breath taking especially on a clear night looking right down into Hong Kong harbor. They also offer many place here to eat and shop as well but hey let’s not kid ourselves, the long drive up the mountain (quite a lot of turns so car sick peeps beware) was to see the view and not to just eat and shop although those are the perks. They also have a cable car ride you can take which is an alternative to the taxi or bus ride up! Definitely recommend stopping here!

This is more of a review for the spectacular views rather than the actual shopping /​dining.
The Peak is without a doubt, a must-​do when visiting Hong Kong. Did you catch that, Unilocalers? VISIT THE PEAK!
However you manage to come up the mountain (I recommend the Peak Tram), the Galleria is the logical next step. Honestly I wasnt expecting to find a mall on top of the mountain, but hey, it’s Asia, so I suppose I shouldn’t have been surprised. Shopping and dining should always be expected.
After waiting in the crazy long lines to get up there, it’s actually quite nice to find air conditioning and lots of food options. I settled on a casual Vietnamese restaurant on the second or third floor. Can’t remember the name, but my spring rolls and papaya salad were both super yummy.
With a full belly I was ready to experience the holy grail of views. Up the escalators I went to the top, and low and behold, I was in heaven. The view of Hong Kong. IS. INSANE. It’s also pretty mind blowing that you can visit for free (if you choose not to take the tram).
Once you’ve indulged in the mind-​blowing view, I recommend taking a walk on one of the trails nearby, or checking out the art work for sale from local artists. I bought two beautiful oil paintings from a street vendor, both at crazy good prices.
Amazing experience all around.

Not the largest of malls here in Hong Kong (and we all know how many malls there are here in Hong Kong!), the Peak Galleria is a nice place to let you just walk around and let your mind wander. My usual schedule is walk around the Peak Circle Walk in the morning and then make my rounds around the mall. At the time I usually do this most of the stores haven’t opened yet but it’s nice just to window shop! They have a few restaurants here and of course the famous Starbucks and Haagan Daz. You also have a grocery store, souvenir store and a bossini. The McDonald’s in there also is pretty popular. The roof is a little garden but is often a too cold for me. At the top floor, I also get some of my favorite treats, egg tarts! They’re the best around but like I said it’s often times closed when I’m going through there.
I think it’s nostalgia for me to just walk around here and look around. The stores always change but the Peak is always the same.

This is one of the premier tourist locations in Hong Kong– The Peak Galleria. I think it doesn’t need any further promotion as it is the biggest mall on the Peak and you really can’t miss it. The mall itself has undertaken several remodeling which in its more recent form has become a base for locally designed products.
The winning feature of this location is its rooftop– on which you will find one of the best views overlooking Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. There may be better positions to take photos but if you really couldn’t be bothered to walk further then you can’t beat this place.
The rooftop aside, there are a number of restaurants available and the café deco here has an unparalleled view with a special seat at the corner (forgot what they call it but they actually have a name for it I think). Less pricey options are available including a note worthy Wanton soup noodle restaurant on the ground floor and a number of fast food outlets are also present. There are many small shops selling locally designed products and I think this is probably the best place to celebrate the ingenuity of Hong Kong– you really can’t ask for a better venue to sell exclusive products.
This is the biggest parking lot on the peak but you do pay for the privilege– it costs around 30/​per hour and parking concessions are almost non– existent. I guess that’s what you will be willing to pay if you don’t come here very often though. An alternative will be to try the meter spaces at the back of the building and walk over.
